Ivey is the first Republican woman to be governor. She is starting her second full term, after becoming governor in April 2017, when then-Gov. Robert Bentley resigned and as lt. governor, she took office.
Many of those giving speeches referred to the state motto “We Dare Defend Our Rights” as they drew a contrast between the faith and family values of those in Alabama compared to the social change that is happening in other parts of the country. Looking ahead, she says education will be her #1 priority, with a goal of getting Alabama into the top 30 of states in reading and math. She says Alabama will take part in Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to provide books regularly for each child from the time they’re born through age five.
